Over 50,000 at 3pm EST.

Did you buy anything yesterday? I took a few nibbles. Should have bit harder.

It's just like a volley ball game, one minute it's down the next it's up, mostly Fridays the worst but today is an exception !

No buying for me PF I see it ended at 50,115

But, but, but, I thought the sky was falling? I thought we were getting ready to be in a depression and have soup lines?

WTH!!!

Evaluations are still sky high.

I supect the fed will start printing/easing agin and inflation will climb along with assets. Reasoning in using is ita about the only thing he can do with our debt level since they won't cut spending, soiled programs or raise taxes. Enough due to being political suicide. History backs this up as well. I could be wrong just the theory of a heavy equipment operator so not worth much..

Stock market is nothing more than a casino, hasn't been based on reality in decades. Be ugly when it crash's the next time, not sure China has enough money to bail us out again.

Oh I don’t know about calling it a casino.
Stock market has a pretty consistent, demonstrating a long time pattern of up about every three years then maybe down one. Cycles right along with election years. Investing is a marathon not a sprint so I don’t get too excited over the swings up or down (records included) I just watch the long term patterns and direction. If you have a good diversified portfolio and a disciplined approach of feeding it, and patience, it’s hard to beat the stock market for average gains over the long haul.
The folks that go in/out tend to do the worst unless I course you are excellent with options and day trading. But that approach is also the fastest way to lose if you are not good at that.
Been very good me over past 35 years investing. You cannot beat the power of compounded earnings over time.
Even a couple good growth mutual funds with lost costs will generally get you an average of 12+ percent gains over time and I don’t know anything else that will push those returns out consistently over time with so little hands on needed.

I ain’t got the guts for the stock market… shoot I get nervous over holding ginseng too long

I own some stock but mostly just ignore it. I've tried to be more hands on with it, but just can't generate any interest in the game.

S&P 500 has performed well for years yes there is risk but it’s not a casino

Not a casino

Capital markets are the greatest wealth creator ever devised

Available to anyone/everyone,,,

It’s unfortunate how many folks have missed out, or are missing out

If you are young, invest and make it hurt NOW!!! The key to successful investing is time. Do it now and you can relax later. impossible to catch up if you wait too long.

Warren Buffett says to put your dollars into the SAP 500 and let it ride for the long haul. You can self invest through Fidelity, Vanguard, and Schwab.

Truer words have never been spoken.
